Can it happen? If you believe that the players who have underperformed can rebound down the stretch, then yes, it is possible.
That's on the owners, who aren't going anywhere.
Omar is just doing what he's told, so presumably, he'll be protected.
Angel Pagan has been the team's best player, by far, except for maybe R.A. Dickey. That says a lot.
First of all, if you don't think he's doing a good job, fire him now.
Not that he's contributing now, anyway.
But the proof is in the pudding, and despite many opportunities to do something to help the team—whether it's throwing money to the wind and cutting Perez for the good of the club, or acquiring needed talent—management has done nothing.
A third of the season remains, with a lot of home games and games against teams like Houston and Pittsburgh. The Phillies are battered, and despite winning the Mets series, the Braves have shown signs of coming back to earth (10-10 since the break). The Mets, warts and all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are better than their 6-14 record since the All-Star break.
That leaves it up to the players in the room and Manuel to beat the odds and somehow find a way to put it all together in the final 54 games.
That leaves Manuel, who, like many managers before him and many who will come after,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the scapegoat when, in fact, almost none of what has troubled this team is his fault (you want to question his moves, fine, but you'll have those questions with pretty much any manager you bring in).
But this season, after a lost season due to injury last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and after two seasons of bitter collapses, ownership had the opportunity to win back the fans who could no longer stomach the situation and have started to stay away.
Instead, we get reports that the Wilpons lost a ton of money to Bernie Madoff and that it has affected the ballclub, something they have denied again and again.
But the reality is that nothing is going to happen to fix what is broken, and the inertia comes from the top. Ownership can't spend money, so management can't make changes, so the roster stays the same,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flaws and all.
Only Reyes, Wright, and Pagan have been dependable, and even there, Reyes hasn't been playing up to his own level, and Wright is in the middle of another brutal cold streak.
Second, the man whose fate you'd think would be sealed is Omar Minaya. In his tenure he's done nothing to help the team in-season, but especially this season, when the need for another starter was so obvious for so long. Manuel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and even some players like David Wright,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], made it known that they could use the help.
But Omar is being a good soldier by insisting he has the green light to make a deal when ownership has probably told him that he can't add any more salary. And he can't release Oliver Perez because of his salary, and ownership can't swallow paying someone that much for not contributing.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. Matthew Stockman Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
There is this assumption that by doing nothing to add to the roster, the Mets are sealing Jerry Manuel's fate as manager, that his firing at the end of what could be another playoff-less season is a done deal.
The real culprit with this team is ownership. The Wilpons spend money, no doubt. No one foresaw Jason Bay going a whole season without getting hot, and having this drastic a power loss. They've paid big bucks for free agents before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so you can't call them cheap.
That leaves Manuel stuck with the players he has. That list includes two guys off the DL, one of whom is ice cold (Beltran) and one who everyone outside the locker room apparently hates (Castillo, although he started to hit against Atlanta), two players who were cold and are now hurt (Bay and Barajas), the hot-and-cold Francoeur, a rookie in Ike Davis, and a weak bench.
But what fans really want is an ownership that is willing to fund changes necessary to allow the team to compete and to win. That has not happened.
Yes, they added all the nice Metsy touches like the Hall of Fame and moved the apple and added big photos of old Mets. Great.
Omar is just taking orders, so he's safe.
Ya' gotta believe. Because there's nothing else to count on. Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,000, but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.
Wednesday night's error-filled loss doesn't reflect well on Manuel, but he's not the one throwing balls away, or missing the strike zone, or hitting batters, or failing to hit. The players are well aware of their situation and are trying—probably too hard—but just not executing.
